Promoting healthy environments with a focus on the impact of actions on electromagnetic fields

This study aims to support Action 13 relating to electromagnetic fields of the EU Environment & Health Action Plan by evaluating the impact and the effectiveness of EU actions undertaken since 2004, as well as by assisting in the identification of future actions. Specific objectives of this study include:  Analysing the actual exposure of the general public to EMF in the EU (extremely low frequencies, intermediate frequencies, and radio frequencies as defined by the SCENIHR), and the trends in this exposure and public concern in the EU since 2004.  Assessing the actions taken at EU level since 2004 (regulatory actions, technical standards, research funding, and scientific assessments)  Identifying additional measures that could be taken to reduce the exposure of the general public to EMF in all frequency ranges, to assess the advantages and disadvantages, and to estimate the costs of these measures at EU level.
